4 Approach Phase To accelerate the thrower and javelin Javelin is held horizontally over the shoulder Top of the javelin is at head height Arm is held steady - no forward or backward movement Acceleration run is relaxed, controlled and rhythmic strides Acceleration to optimum speed - which is maintained or increased in the 5-stride rhythm. IAAF CECS Level II Event Specific Theory 4

5 5-Stride Rhythm Phase Withdrawal To position the javelin correctly for the delivery Withdrawal starts on landing of the left foot Left shoulder faces direction of the throw - left arm is held forward for balance Throwing arm extends backwards during first and second strides Throwing arm is at shoulder height or slightly higher after withdrawal Tip of the javelin is close to the head in line with the eye. IAAF CECS Level II Event Specific Theory 5

6 5-Stride Rhythm Phase Impulse Stride To position and prepare the body for the delivery Drive-off is active and flat from whole sole of left foot - no loss of velocity Body leans backwards - legs and trunk overtake the javelin Left shoulder and head face the direction of the throw Impulse stride is longer than the delivery stride. IAAF CECS Level II Event Specific Theory 6

7 Delivery Phase - Transition To transfer velocity from the legs to the trunk Right foot is placed flat at an acute angle to the direction of the throw Legs have overtaken the trunk Axes of the shoulder, javelin and hip are parallel Right knee and hip push forwards actively Throwing arm remains extended. IAAF CECS Level II Event Specific Theory 7

8 Delivery Phase - Power Position To transfer velocity from the trunk to the shoulder and arm Placement of left foot is active and solid and left side is stabilised Muscles in the front of the body are pre-tensed in the Arc or backward C position Throwing shoulder pushes forwards Throwing elbow turns inwards, palm remains up. IAAF CECS Level II Event Specific Theory 8

9 Delivery Phase - Final Arm Movement To transfer velocity from the shoulder and arm to the javelin Right elbow draws forwards and upwards alongside the head Trunk moves forwards and throwing elbow straightens explosively Left side of the body is blocked by solid left leg and fixing of bent left elbow close to trunk Right foot turns but maintains ground contact until the javelin is released. IAAF CECS Level II Event Specific Theory 9

10 Delivery Phase - Final Arm Movement To transfer velocity from the shoulder and arm to the javelin Right foot turns on its outside edge and is dragged behind (1) Trunk leans slightly to left, right shoulder is directly over left foot (2) Throwing arm should be as close to vertical as possible at release (3). IAAF CECS Level II Event Specific Theory 10

11 Recovery Phase To stop the forward movement of the body and avoid fouling Distance from foot of the brace leg to the foul line is 1.5m - 2m Legs are reversed quickly after the release Right leg is bent to control stop Upper body is lowered and left leg naturally swings backwards. IAAF CECS Level II Event Specific Theory 11
